Hi,

I have an directory of files that i want only certain people to view.
These people already have user ids and passwords.  I could make the
directory a protected resource, but  the whole user list would have to
be entered into the server to allow access to a protected resource and
the user would be reprompted for a user name and password when they went
from the main site to the directory.  Would it be possible to write a
servlet that would authenticate the user, based on his/her current id &
password, then have the servlet pass a single user id and password from
the servlet to the server?  has anyone done this before? or have any
other suggestions.

thanks
alan
